Womble Park Parking Lots and Gravel Road Through Park to be Paved
Project to be Discussed at Town Council Meeting April 6

In April, construction will begin on a much-anticipated project that will include the paving of two parking lots in Parrish Womble Park. The paved parking lots will help organize vehicular traffic and will result in a safer park. In addition, the gravel road that leads from the paved portion of Stinson Avenue near the community center through the park to the paved portion of Stinson in the Remington subdivision will be converted into a paved road with a curb and gutter, as well as speed humps. The paved parking lots in the park will connect to this road. A sidewalk will be constructed between the road and the park land, and streetlights along the road and in the parking lot will be installed.

In March, a public meeting was held about this project. During the meeting, property owners adjacent to the park voiced their concerns about the project and requested, among other items, that additional speed humps and three-way stop signs be added to the project. The Town's Engineering Department will be presenting the Town Council with comments from property owners and the department's recommendations based on those residents' comments at the April 6 council meeting. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in Town Hall at 128 S. Main Street. The public is invited to attend. For more information, contact Senior Engineer Kendra Thompson at 557-3931.
